After leaving the restaurant and returning to the Wu family, it was already getting late. The lights inside and outside the Wu family mansion were brightly lit. In the past month and a half, the joyful atmosphere in Wu family has not dissipated. This kind of joy is in the spirit of every servant.
It can be seen in the spirit. Or only the servants who are with the highest-status people in the family can vaguely feel that something is wrong. At this time, after entering the house, a servant guarding the door comes over carefully.
"The eldest young master is back. The second young master and the master arrived home half an hour ago. In addition, the third master, the fifth master, the sixth master, shopkeeper Luo, and shopkeeper Nie have also come over and are discussing matters with the master in the side hall."
This is the time shortly after dinner for most people. In the past more than a month, many family members had to socialize outside until late at night before coming back. This was only the case in the past two days. Wu Qilong nodded and walked all the way.
I walked towards the side hall in silence and then reached the corridor. I heard a bang inside and the sound of a teacup falling to the ground.
"Does this mean it can't be solved? It only took three days? Does it mean it can't be solved?"
At this time, it was his father Wu Chenghou who was talking after he dropped the tea cup. In the past many years, he has rarely been seen in such a state of control. It was also because the consequences of this problem were too serious and the turning point was so sudden that it made
Everyone felt a little unprepared. They were suddenly hit in the head, and then everyone was a little confused. In the side hall, the person who was talking to his father at this time was the fifth uncle of the clan. The dyeing of the fabric was technically done by Nie
The shopkeeper is in charge, but the most important manager is Uncle Wu. At this time, he is probably the only one who can bargain with his father.
"But... it really can't be solved. It's not a formula that we have researched here. In the two months since we got it, the masters at home have been trying to change it, but this formula is too sensitive, and there are no big or small changes."
It will change the color drastically. The Su family even used some raw materials that were originally used to dye cyan fabric. Now...it doesn't mean that it can't be solved, maybe with luck..."
Wu Chengke, the fifth uncle, was also in a bit of a dilemma at this time. Wu Qilong walked into the door. His father above him glanced at him, casually waved his hand and told him to sit down next to him, and then turned around to confront the fifth uncle.
"……luck?"
"Oh, it took the Su family two or three years to develop this recipe. We don't have a clue now. Master Chen and the others said... maybe we can only rely on luck..."
Above the shopping mall, they said they wanted to solve the problem, but the answer they got at this time was that they could only rely on luck. Wu Chenghou above him stared, and the entire main hall was silent. After a long while, Wu Chenghou opened his mouth a few times.
He spoke for a moment, stepped back and sat back in his seat: "So, are you sure? It's not that we have a problem, we are indeed... set up by the Su family?"
Among the people in the side hall, no one dared to speak, no one dared to make such a conclusion. Maybe everyone has thought about it, but if this is the case, the price that needs to be paid in the future is really terrible. There was a moment of silence.
, Luo Minzhi shook his head:
"This matter is still strange and difficult to understand. If the Su family really set up such a situation, wouldn't it be better for them to directly capture the imperial merchants. Su Tan'er spent several years doing this, and everyone can feel it.
Look at the Su family now. They are in dire straits. Even if there is any improvement, the news in the past month and a half is enough to cause them a lot of losses. The third master, Mr. Nie and I have all considered, what if there was something wrong two months ago?
The conspiracy is too risky for the Su family..."
Wu Chengyuan, who was ranked third in the Wu family, also nodded at this time: "Brother Luo Xian is right. We didn't originally plan to use the Su family's recipe. We only came up with it more than two months ago. If the Su family
There really is another set of formulas, we can't possibly not know about it, and several inferences since then have proven that there is no problem with the golden brocade that we just used. If the Su family planned this game from the beginning, how could they be so sure from the beginning?
We will enter the game. To say that their calculations are so flawless, I don't believe that Su Tan'er has no such ability, and even Su Yu is not so scheming..."
"But no matter what, our current situation is like this..." Wu Qilong sat next to him without saying a word after entering the room, but he seemed to be in a low mood and just looked at the people in the side hall lightly. Wu
Qi Hao glanced at his brother for a few times, then sighed and started to speak.
"Now that things are like this, we have to start thinking about the next response. My father and I talked with Mr. Dong today. There should be no problem in postponing the delivery date, but the trouble now is. Once we formally propose an extension to the Weaving Bureau,
Then this matter must be put in a formal official document, and Mr. Dong will not be able to suppress it by then. News of the Wu family's problems will inevitably spread, and it is hard to say what it will be like by then. It is now far away from the appointment
The delivery date is still ten days away, and after ten days we have to figure out how to deal with it."
He paused: "No matter if it is delayed by one month or two months, in order to solve the problem in the end, we still have to adjust this recipe. Uncle Wu, Uncle Nie, no matter whether you work hard or try your luck,
We can only give it a try. In addition, if the Su family has a real prescription, we probably have to give it a try. Then...brother, it will depend on you..."
Wu Qihao looked towards his brother. On the other side, the sixth uncle of the clan shook his head and said: "If the Su family is not planning the plan, it is indeed possible to do this. We can't be sure about this at the moment."
"But now we can only deal with it like this." Wu Chengyuan interjected, "It's true that we can't be sure now, but if it's not the Su family's layout, but it's just a coincidence, we have a problem here and we can handle it.
If we don’t deal with it, we will become a laughing stock in the end.”
In the middle of the argument, Wu Qilong also stood up under the gaze of his younger brother. He patted Wu Qihao on the shoulder: "Dad, uncles and uncles, I...I have been dealing with the northwest recently.
I haven’t really paid much attention to the things that are going on in Jiangning City. I know some things, but I don’t know them in too much detail. May I ask...what are the Su family doing recently?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wu Qilong has Wu Chenghou's demeanor. Although his voice is not high at this time, he obviously has some conclusions in his heart. Everyone looked at him and Wu Chengyuan thought for a while
, then sat down on the seat: "There must be internal strife."
"The situation is not good. Su Zhongkan and Su Yunfang are working hard, and they are having a huge quarrel at this time." Wu Chengke also shook his head and said, "Su Tan'er is very anxious, making excuses everywhere, trying to build relationships, trying to maintain the original cooperation.
.”
"I heard... it doesn't seem to have any effect. Su Tan'er is capable, but there was Su Boyong behind her before. Now Su Boyong is said to be paralyzed. He can't get out of bed recently. The original Li Jiannian family has already
We are planning to stop cooperating with the Su family's Dafang, and some scattered small businesses have also been affected. Mainly because everyone is saying that Su Tan'er will not be able to control the Dafang's business soon, and the Xue family has also been recruiting these people recently.
Once the Su family's business shrinks, it would be better for some people with whom the relationship was not so close to begin with to cooperate with the Xue family first..."
Everyone has been busy with other substantive things recently, and they don't know much about the real and specific things about the Su family. Luo Minzhi has had a lot of dinners recently, but he has paid attention to some of them. At this time, everyone was talking in a miscellaneous way, and Wu Qilong frowned.
Frowning: "What about Su Tan'er herself?"
"Maintain the previous cooperative relationship." Wu Chengyuan smiled, "Su Boyong collapsed. The current situation is that the Su family's business of two and three bedrooms is shrinking. She still wants to maintain the previous business and turn it into a business that was originally owned by Su Boyong.
How could it be possible..."
Wu Qilong looked at his third uncle, his eyes not changing much: "But what is the whole Su family doing?"
"The entire Su family's house, she..." Wu Chengyuan looked at his nephew, waved his hand, and then stopped in mid-air. After a moment, he shook his head, but did not speak. He seemed to understand something, or
I had thought about it a long time ago, but I just didn't want to say it. No matter how I thought about it, it felt weird and difficult to understand. The expressions of everyone in the room changed a little. What I thought of at this time was not a good thing.
"Actually..." Wu Qilong's wry smile was hard to describe, and he spoke slowly, "Actually... Third and fifth uncles, you may have considered it a few days ago, right?"
"That's a reverse effect, it's impossible." Wu Chengke said with a gloomy face.
"There is nothing we can do at this time, even if the cause is reversed..." Wu Qilong shook his head, "Three years of preparation, Huang Shang's one-time investment of 200,000 taels of silver before, maybe even more.
Su Tan'er improved her looms. Originally we thought she was doing it to cope with the demand for a large amount of old cloth and was determined to win the emperor's business. But she didn't stop after the incident with the emperor's business. People outside thought she was crazy and was riding a tiger.
, I want to increase production and sell goods at low prices for our Wu family..."
"A woman can do anything if she has a bad mind." Wu Qilong murmured, "But if not... Dad, uncles and uncles, if you sell goods at low prices and ruin the market, everyone will unite to beat her.
, so we have never been afraid of her actions. But what if this woman has been staring at our Wu family's share from the beginning, and she is waiting for us to free up our share, what will happen?"
Wu Chenghou looked at his son in front of him for a long time, and then he spoke in a hoarse voice: "If this is really the case, she is almost ready now."
"Yeah." Wu Qilong smiled tiredly, and the next moment he raised his voice, "No one in the entire market is looking at our Wu family now. We are going to expand. Even when we go there, everyone else is thinking about what to do.
Get out of the way. Led by the Xue family, everyone is staring at the current Su family, waiting for the day when it will suddenly collapse, and then divide the shares. But what if the Su family will not collapse at all? Only this woman takes from us
Come down to Huangshang..."
He waved his hand: "No, we were waiting even before we captured Huangshang. Once something goes wrong on our side, all the cloth merchants in Jiangning and those who are staring at the Su family will make a big joke."
As soon as the family's market share is given up, Su Tan'er will eat them up to pieces before the rest of the people can react, and the rest of the people can only stare."
"For a month and a half, we felt that no one had any problems, and we regarded them as the losers. But in fact, they had attracted the attention of the entire Jiangning weaving industry and secretly made all preparations.
Su Tan'er upgraded the looms under her hands to improve the shipment rate, which seemed useless now. Everyone was laughing, except us. After we realized it, they had been preparing for more than a month..."
An indescribable feeling of suffocation enveloped the entire side hall. After a moment, Wu Chengyuan still shook his head: "This is the worst possibility. If so, this situation is too exaggerated. How could we not feel anything at all?"
If you don’t come out…”
Wu Chengke frowned: "Even if this is the case, the Su family is not having a good time now. How long can Su Tan'er hold on? How long can we hold on? In the worst case, we will postpone it, delay it for two months, and drag her to death..."
"Whether it's an exaggeration or not, this is what we have in front of us, and..." Wu Qilong looked at Wu Chengke, "Fifth uncle, they won't wait for us to pour it ourselves. There was a problem in the workshop the day before yesterday. Qin
Uncle just fell ill, did you notice yesterday? Someone spread rumors outside, saying that something happened to our Wu family in the Imperial Business... Of course, it is common for people to make random speculations in shopping malls, but this is not the case.
It's too fast. Everyone knows that someone is spreading rumors behind the scenes, but not many people pay attention to it right now, but..."
He took out a piece of rice paper from his arms: "Before I came back, I had actually checked Su Tan'er's movements for more than a month. Now maybe I can see it more clearly. After Huang Shang, all the adjustments and expenditures were for
They came from our Wu family, and they were very thoughtful. For a month and a half, we walked forward without thinking. They had already set up all the swords, guns, swords and halberds silently, and every one of them was aimed at our vital points.
Come here...Dad, Fifth Uncle, do you feel it?"
Wu Qilong smiled bitterly, shook his head, and looked in the direction of the Su Mansion: "That woman has secretly made all the preparations... and started to take action..."
The rice paper was circulated in the hall. For more than a month, these seemed to be jokes. As long as nothing happened to the Wu family, all the wiring was meaningless. But what would happen to the Wu family? That is, with this understanding
Next, they sang loudly and headed in the best direction. When they realized that the front was a dead end and were still confused for a moment, they realized that the surroundings were full of sharp edges.
It was an indescribable feeling. Looking at the layout that Su Tan'er had made against the Wu family in the past month and a half listed on the piece of paper, everyone almost felt their spines start to shiver for a while, and a cold breath came up from there. If
This is real……
"I still don't believe it." Wu Chengyuan suddenly waved his hand, "If this is the case, then we didn't go in by ourselves, but they lured us in. They have been there since more than two months or earlier.
Has Su Tan'er been plotting against us? Has Su Tan'er worked hard for three years to set up such a trap? It's not like we haven't considered getting fake goods before. If the whole thing is deliberate, everyone will see it! No one can set up such a trap.
Game! This thing...can't be done just by thinking about it. Everyone knows how difficult the whole process is and how many accidents there are. It is impossible for Su Tan'er, and Su Yu will not take risks with such a thing!
If they can get Huangshang, why don't they get it? If they can't get it, why did they build up the momentum to such an extent before that they almost couldn't deceive others. Let's talk about getting the prescription. If it's too difficult, we can't get it.
If it was too simple, we wouldn't believe it. Afterwards, we reviewed it several times before we were sure that there was no problem. Who can do it to this extent!"
"She has already started to take action, and it will be obvious in a few days. In fact, I also hope that I am just guessing..." Wu Qilong sat there, shaking his head a little quietly, "But if not, then the whole incident will
When I think about it...heh, it's very interesting..."
"It's true that Su Tan'er fell ill at that time. Su Yu couldn't deal with such a thing during that time. He was old after all. But there is one person. Maybe we all ignored him, or we didn't treat him except at the beginning.
Treat it as the same thing. Look... He seemed to be doing nothing during the whole thing. However, after Su Tan'er fell ill, he was actually doing everything. He took us in circles every day, and it seemed like he was doing nothing.
They were joking there. But behind the scenes, he came out in a daze and said that he wanted to publicize the yellow cloth in a big way and promote that the Su family is the most powerful..."
"Now that I think about it, it's actually very interesting. Neither I nor the Xue family had a habitual thought at the time. Every time we talked in restaurants and teahouses about what stupid things Ning Yi had done recently.
Sometimes, I can't forget to remind others: Su Tan'er is very powerful, and the Su family is still using the most fair and honest method to rob the emperor's merchants, so don't be fooled by Ning Yi's performance. It turns out that everyone is a smart person, and everyone is watching.
Wearing the piece of cloth from the Su family."
"Uncle Third, do you still remember what you told me when I was a child? If you want people to see something, the best way is not to put it in the most conspicuous place, but to put it there and cover it with something, or bury it under a
A layer of sand was spread on the ground. To cover it up, there are no three hundred taels of silver here... Ning Yi told us from beginning to end that the Su family has the best cloth. The Su family has the best cloth! And the Su family has the best cloth!
...We all felt that we were smart people, and after seeing the important point behind it, we gradually lost our vigilance..."
"He is a fool, an idiot in the business world. Su Tan'er is sick, so some omissions are inevitable. If Su Tan'er came in person, we might be more vigilant, because there are some small mistakes that we shouldn't make. But he keeps making them.
Small mistake, none of us thought this was abnormal. Ha... In the end, he didn't do anything. Anyway, in the end we got the yellow cloth prescription, and he just looked at it, and then... Prime Minister Bai Zhiyu pressed the sword...
...After he finished his work, he threw the things away and left. In the past month and a half, he has been the same as before, not even bothering to take a look at these things in the mall. But no one knows yet. Maybe he doesn't even know.
Take these seriously..."
Wu Qilong seemed to be talking to himself after saying this, and sat there with a sarcastic smile. Wu Qihao on the side frowned: "Ning Yi? How is this... impossible..."
Wu Qilong raised his head: "Oh, I also hope that I am wrong, but do you know that today I went to talk to the spy we arranged at Su's house, and he told me something. I talked to him two nights ago
When the Su family's shopkeeper Zhou, who was in charge of the dyeing process, was chatting, he got drunk and said something. He said that in the entire Su family, the person he admired, besides Su Yu, was the family's Aunt Ning..."
Someone's eyes widened.
Wu Qilong paused: "Anyway... there are still a few days left. No matter what, we have to request an extension from the Weaving Bureau within ten days. By then, if the Su family really sets up the plan, everything will be gone."
If he followed us, then we would know whether he was acting at that time or whether he knew it in his heart. If this is really the case..." He looked at the darkness outside the door and thought of the scholar's figure, "I will be a little afraid of him.
…”
Recalling Ning Yi's performance during that period and the recent period, everyone was still silent and stunned, exchanging unbelievable looks with each other. But if that was true, that kind of chilling feeling would probably be
It's so weird.
After a while, Wu Qilong rubbed his forehead and sighed.
"Poor Xi Junyu, he still doesn't know..."
